Homemade Granola

by Febrina Malloy

Ingredients:
2 cups oatmeal
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup oat bran or flaked coconut
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup honey or corn syrup
2 TB vegetable oil or peanut oil
1 TB imitation vanilla, not extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts or peanuts
1/4 cup sunflower seeds or sliced almonds, optional

Directions:
1. Measure the first five items into large bowl and stir well.
2. Measure honey, oil and vanilla into glass measuring cup. Heat in microwave (or in pan of hot water) just until honey is very warm and no longer thick. Do not let mixture boil.
3. Pour over the dry mixture and stir thoroughly until all of it is moistened and no large lumps remain.
4. Spread out on a 10 x 15 pan and bake at 250° F for about 20 minutes, turning over and stirring with a spatula after the first 10 minutes.
5. Add raisins, nuts and any seeds just before 20 minutes are up. Turn off oven and allow to remain until nuts are heated through, perhaps 30 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, stir well and allow to cool. Store in air tight jar.
